Inman Park and Little Five Points

Alternative culture meets Southern charm
Noteworthy for: An interesting combination of wealthy and low-income dwellers that makes for a quirky environment.

The intersection called Little Five Points sits among the historic neighborhoods of Inman Park, with its newly restored Victorian bungalows and mansions alike, and Candler Park and Poncey-Highland, somewhat less upscale but historic and charming in their own right. The area is an ideal hangout for teenagers, yuppies, and those just looking for a good place to stroll and people-watch.
Smoky bars, tattoo parlors, colorful murals, novelty shops, and mom-and-pop vinyl and vintage clothing stores are what you'll find here. The Vortex, with its hypnotic skull-head entrance has great burgers, and The Porter is known for its beer selection and stellar pub food. Of particular note is the Variety Playhouse, a music venue that attracts up-and-coming and established bands.

When you tire of the hipster scene, the epicenter of Inman Park neighborhood is just a beautiful half-mile walk west down Euclid to Austin Avenue to Highland. There you'll find more upscale dining and shopping.
